Plant Meat – Homemade Vegan Meats

These delicious plant-based meats make it easy to move towards a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle. The meat balls in particular are better than any meat I have ever eaten and they are a whole lot healthier!

Plant meats are a great tool. We have been so heavily normalised to the taste of meat that it can be really hard to let go of it completely. As I say in the video, most vegans and vegetarians didn’t stop eating meat because they didn’t like the taste, they (generally) did it because;
– Ethics – Meat means killing animals unnecessarily
– Environment – meat is unsustainable to produce
– Health – meat is linked to a number of serious health conditions

There is no doubt that eating meat is almost always unethical – possibly not by the standards of our prehistoric ancestors, but definitely within the context of modern society – we now have the scientific insight to know we don’t need meat, we have the technological advancement to make awesome alternatives and we have the global awareness to understand the negative consequences of eating meat… and within those parameters to choose to eat meat is sort of like choosing to buy a slave labor option next to perfectly good alternatives .. there is no away out of the ethics of that decision.
